Ontario Handspinning Seminar

In this workshop we will work on refining some of the basic spinning techniques to make producing diamonds from fluff as easy and enjoyable as possible. The activities will range from maintaining your tools to perfecting your hand carding, woolen and worsted spinning, and plying skills. Participants will have the opportunity to improve techniques and learn a few new ones. Bring your difficulties, obstacles, and dilemmas and we'll work out the best way to end up with treasure.
